Lyrics for Song: Illegal Smile
Lyrics for Album: The Singing Mailman Delivers [2011]
When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad
Seem like total silence was the only friend I had
Bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down... and won
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized
That I was havin' .. no fun
Chorus:
But fortunately I have the key to escape reality
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone
No I'm just tryin' to have me some fun
Last time I checked my bankroll,
It was gettin' thin
Sometimes it seems like the bottom
Is the only place I've been
I Chased a rainbow down a one-way street... dead end
And all my friends turned out to be insurance salesmen
Repeat Chorus:
Well i sat down in my closet wiht all my overalls
tryin to get away form all the ears inside my walls
dreamed the police heard every thing i thought...what then?
i went to court and the judges name was hoffman
Repeat Chorus:
Well Done, Hot Dog Bun, My sisters a nun
